U.K. CHARTS: "FLOWERS" BLOSSOMS

While Courteeners were making history on the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart, Miley Cyrus was having her own personal record-setting week at singles.

Cyrus’ “Flowers” (RCA) becomes her third U.K. #1 after it shifted 92k chart units with more than 9.9m streams. It’s her biggest opening week for streaming and the U.K.’s biggest first week for a single since Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (Columbia) reached the summit in May.

Elsewhere, Metro Boomin scores his first U.K. Top 10 single after “Creepin’” f/The Weeknd and 21 Savage (Republic) climbs four slots to #7.

Thanks to viral success on TikTok, Miguel’s “Sure Thing” (Jive) is up three to #11. Tiësto & Tate McRae’s “10:35” (Atlantic/ Ministry of Sound) is also on the rise, moving two to #16, while Joel Corry & Tom Grennan’s “Lionheart (Fearless)” (Atlantic) rises six to #18. Mimi Webb’s “Red Flags” (Epic) is today’s second-highest new entry, starting at #23.

On the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, Courteeners are at #1 with a 15th anniversary re-release of their 2008 debut, St. Jude (Polydor/UMR). With 14 years, nine months and 14 days between now and its original release, the album has logged the longest time between release and #1 in Official Albums Chart history. The record reached the summit with more than 97% physical sales. Courteeners are also only the third band in Official Chart history to chart a reissued album at #1.

The debut mixtape from rapper Clavish, the 28-track Rap Game Awful (Polydor), is new at #4.

Gaz Coombes’ fourth set, Turn the Car Around (Hot Fruit), secures him his first solo Top 10, at #6.

Circa Waves debut at #15 with Never Going Under ([PIAS]), while Scottish artist Joesef’s debut, Permanent Damage (AWAL), is new at #18.
